Sunny Leone Won't Perform At New Year's Event After Police DENIES PROTECTION Post VIOLENT Protests

Sunny Leone found herself stuck in an extremely awkward situation. As absurd as it may sound, but a certain political group from Karnataka threatened that they will commit a mass suicide if Sunny performed in Bengaluru on New Year's Eve. After the Bengaluru police said they wouldn't be able to give Sunny protection, Leone has now walked out of the event. Read her full statement here:


Sunny's tweet read, "Since the police of Bangalore have publicly said that they will not be able to ensure mine & all who attend safety for my New Years event,my team & I feel,safety of the people should always come first therefore I cannot attend.God bless & I wish everyone a safe & happy New Year! To all those who protested and to all those who supported, always remember,never allow others to speak and choose for you.Have your own voice and make your own choices. You are the youth and you are the NEW INDIA! Stand Proud and Stand together. I love you all dearly! (sic)."

For those who've come in late, members of Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene have protested Sunny’s performance which was scheduled to happen on New Year’s Eve. According to them, Sunny’s performance could prove to be a threat to their culture but if she wears a saree and performs, they will watch the performance.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

Harish, the leader of the protesters, told a leading daily, "We are against Sunny wearing short clothes. If she wears saree and takes part in the event, even we'll go watch her. Sunny doesn't have a good past. We shouldn't be encouraging such people. We will not hesitate to commit suicide on December 31."


On the other hand, the organiser of the show had issued a statement saying the New Year party is a family affair. "This is a family-type programme with Sunny dancing on a Kannada song, and I, being a Kannadiga, have kept the programme's standard based on the Bengaluru culture itself. Even though Sunny got a lot of events that offered her more money, she rejected those and agreed to come to Bengaluru since Bengaluru and Hyderabad are her favourite places. I don't know what the protestors are expecting or what they think; this is a family show where the culture of the state won't be disturbed,’’ said the organiser.

We think Sunny has taken a good stand by deciding not to go for the event. The Bengaluru police should be ashamed of itself for saying they won't be able to provide security to citizens.
